THE PARADE, AT 1 SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

THE MAQUOKETA GIRLS WON A SOFTBALL DOUBLE HEADER YESTERDAY, BEATING MARION TWICE. HAILEY BICKFORD OF MAQUOKETA HAD A HOME RUN IN EACH GAME.

ON THIS DATE IN HISTORY, IN 1992, MAQUOKETA CHIEF OF POLICE RON EVANS PRESENTED THE BRUCE BARLOW FAMILY WITH A KEY TO THE CITY AND A BAG OF JACKSON COUNTY GOODIES FROM THE MAQUOKETA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
INSTEAD OF GIVING THEM A TICKET, WHICH THEY HAD EXPECTED, THEY WERE REWARDED FOR VISITING JACKSON COUNTY. THEY HAD TRAVELED 15 HOURS TO VISIT RELATIVES IN MAQUKETA. RON EVANS WAS SUCH A GOOD-GUY CHEIF...
MOST OF THE TIME.

DON'T FORGET TO FLY YOUR FLAG THIS WEEKEND.
